  2. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    The imaginary part of the exponent indicates that the phase of the current density is delayed 1 radian for each skin depth of penetration. One full wavelength in the conductor requires 2 π skin depths, at which point the current density is attenuated to e −2 π (1.87×10 −3 , or −54.6 dB) of its surface value.

  3. Penetrant (mechanical, electrical, or structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetrant_(mechanical...

    Penetrants, or penetrating items, are the mechanical, electrical or structural items that pass through an opening in a wall or floor, such as pipes, electrical conduits, ducting, electrical cables and cable trays, or structural steel beams and columns. When these items pierce a wall or floor assembly, they create a space between the penetrant ...

  4. Eddy-current testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy-current_testing

    In the traditional version of eddy current testing an alternating (AC) magnetic field is used to induce eddy currents inside the material to be investigated. If the material contains a crack or flaw which make the spatial distribution of the electrical conductivity nonuniform, the path of the eddy currents is perturbed and the impedance of the ...

  5. Sleeve (construction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeve_(construction)

    For cables we provide wall/deck penetration sleeve to avoid any damage to cable from material shifting on deck. Deck penetrations on offshore platform provided to avoid water/chemical dripping to lower deck in case of spillage. Acts as toe guard. For wall penetrations it can be a type of strengthening.

  6. Post office box (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_office_box_(electricity)

    The boxes were used in the United Kingdom by engineers from then General Post Office, who were responsible for UK telecommunications to trace electrical faults, i.e. to determine where a break occurred in a cable which could be several miles in length. It works on the principle of Wheatstone bridge to identify the resistance of wire connected ...

  7. High-voltage cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_cable

    High voltage is defined as any voltage over 1000 volts. [3] Those of 2 to 33 kV are usually called medium voltage cables, those over 50 kV high voltage cables.. Modern HV cables have a simple design consisting of a few parts: the conductor, the conductor shield, the insulation, the insulation shield, the metallic shield, and the jacket.

  8. Coaxial cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_cable

    Coaxial cable, or coax (pronounced / ˈ k oʊ. æ k s /), is a type of electrical cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield, with the two separated by a dielectric (insulating material); many coaxial cables also have a protective outer sheath or jacket.

  9. Cable tray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_tray

    In the electrical wiring of buildings, a cable tray system is used to support insulated electrical cables used for power distribution, control, and communication. Cable trays are used as an alternative to open wiring or electrical conduit systems, and are commonly used for cable management in commercial and industrial construction.
